Assembly Seeks Help For Denali Wolves

The Fairbanks North Star Borough assembly passed a resolution last night (Thurs) asking Governor Bill Walker to protect Denali National Park wolves and other predators on state land along the park’s northeast boundary. Denali wolves commonly use the strip of state land near the Stampede Trail, west of Healy, and several have been trapped or shot there in recent years. As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, that’s contributed to a broader decline of the park’s wolf population to record lows and fewer visitors seeing the animals.
